Author Description

THE BIG SYCAMORE by Joseph Brady, M.H. Gill & Son Limited, Dublin, Ireland, 1964, First Edition. It originally sold for (18s) eighteen shillings. The Dust Jacket also has wonderful art by Fergus O' Ryan. Looks very much like the great artist, George Salter's work, Great! The Dust Jacket has been placed in an archival, clear, Mylar Jacket for further protection and preservation. This is the quite unusual saga of a seemingly ordinary Irish family; it tells of the heroic struggle and achievement of the one-armed teacher, Maurice Fitzgerald, and the indomitable Kate, his wife, in launching their unique progeny down the slipways of school and college to the great waters of life where they have voyaged successfully, finding position, and even fame. A REMARKABLE NOVEL!
